We continue to pursue our stated objective to be ‘best at what we do’ across all five Group companies,” said chief executive Dave Brooks.
“The cake market remains competitive but with our emphasis on profitable growth, cost control and margin improvement we remain confident of delivering our plans,” he concluded.
